I love Halloween, but it's a time of terror for me due to a home invasion when I was a teen (3 armed gunmen) that started with a knocking on the door. Because knocking on my door (or the anticipation of it due to Halloween) causes extreme terror, I'm forced to leave the lights off and hide for the evening.

I have no idea if my therapist does Halloween or hands out candy. It's not a scene I can place myself in mentally (as in being a trick or treater).

eta: I will take my dog out this afternoon, during daylight, to get treats from a couple of neighbors who do that for dogs.
